If there was one colour that really wowed me at this year's Interior Design Show, it was definitely teal. Not that sickeningly-sweet turquoise that was the Pantone Colour of the Year a few seasons back, but a deep, moody blue-green that owes more to inky oceanic depths than warm Caribbean waters. This handsome leather wingback chair at the Brentwood Furniture booth drove the hue home for me:

But it's not just furniture that stands out in trendy teal. Check out these large-scale applications of the super-chic hue:

If an entire room is too much, how about a solitary horizontal stripe? This brilliant band of colour (which actually owes a bit more to peacock than true teal) is Sico Paint's Peacock Head (6523-43). Photography courtesy of Sico Paint.
